CIunie Opera House.

Miss Margaret Mather, whose romantic
career and rapid advancement were out
lined in these columns few days ago, and
hoisadmitted to be the most beautiful and
the best Interpreter in America OF Shakes
peare's loveliest female character, Will ap-
pear at the Opera House tonight IN the
Immortal Bard's love tragedy, Romeo
and Juliet" Her support is drawn from
the Union Square Theater, New York,
whose manager, J. NJ. Hill, accompanies
Miss Mather's troupe. The Romeo Will
be by Frederick Paulding; Mercutlo by
Mines Leyick: Tybalt by VIM. Famous /;
Friar Lawrence by O'Kane Hills; the
nurse by Mrs. Sol Smith, and Lady Capulet
by Miss Jean Harold. 1t is spoken OF by
the Eastern press as o strong and admir-
ably balanced cast The engagement OF
Miss Mather is the most prominent one
since the appearance here OF Edwin Booth.
The lady, though but % years OF age,
has taken a foremost place among
dramatic artists and won her way
from poverty and lowly station by her
genius, is pronounced by Nym Crlnkle, the
famous critic. to be a Shakesperean expo
nent who feels rather than knows. the
great dramatist and poet. 1t was OF this
woman he said, Put her in human part,
and it will forthwith throb with e human
passion" The ST. Louis Republican says of
her Juliet: " 1t is the best on the stage to-
day" Our Western exchanges for fort
night have teemed with praises OF the
lady's art, and raised expectation to high
point. We are promised rich stage settings,
accurate historical and rich costumery,
fine scenic effects, and an attention to de-
tail and correctness of mounting that
should greatly add to the enjoyment of
fine Shakespearean entertainment. The en-
gagement entails such cost upon the local
that tomake it possible, the
same prices charged throughout the West
says the lessee of the Opera House, will
be maintained here-$1 50 for the first six
rows Of the dress circle 81 general admis-
sion and SO cents for the family circle.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Police Court,


Yesterday in the Police Court, Peter Fan
coli, charged with embezzling, instead of
stealing, SIS worth of clothing as was yes
terday stated, was acquitted. The facts of
the case are as follows: About two weeks
ago a man by the name Of Chris. Brant en-
tered Mr.. Fancolis saloon and asked if he
might leave his blankets until he returned
from the County Hospital. Mr. Fancoi
told him that he could do so, but at his
own risk. In about a week the man re-
turned and not finding his baggage, swore
to a complaint charging Fancoi with en-
bezZlement. The trial resulted as above.
..... Frank Manllin, charged with battery
in striking woman named Mrs. Clifford
pleaded not guilty. He was, however, con-
Victed. and will receive sentence today.
mike Carroll, charged with battery.
was fined $40, or in default of payment, ten
days in the County Jail......Ed Rand,
charged with being drunk, has lately made
too frequent trips to the station house, so
the Court thought 30 days in the County
Jail would in some way brace him up"
Pres. Hawkins, one of Rand's chums,
appeared to have very bad attack of chills
and the Court ordered him discharged ......
Hugh Dunnigan, jailed for being drunk,
enriched the Clerk by forfeiting his deposit
.''..' nos. OeOIBe Sot pNeflodueu, out II
being his first otfense. he was allowed TO
depart. Ed. Flummer, charged with be-
ing implicated in the Denny-Shoup affair,
will be tried next Tuesday Bail was fixed
at $500, and the Grand Jury will probably
be called upon in the meantime to investi-
gate the matter THE imposing of SEN
tence on w. A. Vanderhurst was again put
off to November 10th. He will remain in
Jail while the facts are more closely looked
into.....The continued case of All Sam,
charged with battery, was settled to-day.
The defendant was discharged as it was
proved that the boy upon whom he made
the assault had tantalized him. 1.-THE case
of John Furry, charged with violating Or
dinance No. 81 (the runners ordinance)

The San Francisco Bulletin of last even
ing says: "a meeting of the Board Of State
Prison Directors will be held at San Quen-
tin on Saturday morning, when ]. J. Scriv-
ner, the successor of John Boggs, will take
his seat. 1t is stated that at that meeting
the recent election OF Warden Shirley in
advance of the expiration OF his term will
be declared illegal, and that General John
McCcmb, present Warden Of the Folsom
Prison, will be chosen to succeed him. 1t
is said that McComb's successor will be
John @. Brown, eX-Mayor of Sacramento.
McComb is a Republican and Brown a
Democrat. The programme Of the Board
is to divide the officials of the two prisons
equally among the political parties. 1t is
understood that Captain Thomas, who has
charge of the San Quentin jute mill, and
who IS spoken of as entitled to the credit OF
having made that department more eff
Gent than ever before, will be retained.
Edward Reddy, Captain of the Guard, a
brother of ex-senator Reddy, will, it is said,
also be retained. Captain Aull who has
been connected with the prison for many
years, has sent in his resignation, to take
effect November 5th. Under the law the
Wardens have the appointment of all the
officers under them, and hence it is prob
able that General McComb will bring sew
eral of his Folsom staff down to San Quen-
tin. The cause of Warden Shirley's re-
moval is that his administration has not
given satisfaction to some of the Directors. "

VITIcULTURAL NoTEs.-Professor Viola,
agent of the Minister of Agriculture of
France, is visiting this country to study
resistant vines on their native soils, and to
investigate the subject of fruit evaporation.
He pronounces the Riparia the best resist
ant vine for good soil, and the Rupestris
better suited to dry and poor soils which
are not calcareous. The Lenoir, also a re-
sistant grape, should be planted in good
soil. Mr.. Scribner has been making a
special study of fungoid diseases affecting
vines in Los Angeles county, and he says
that he is unable yet to identify the disease,
which has destroyed many acres of vine
yards during the past year, and now shows
its ugly effects on all the vineyards of Or
ange, TUstin and Anaheim, and it will,
according to vineyard proprietors, destroy
a great percentage of the vines in that sec
ton during the next season. Mr. Scribner
has found no peronospora nor anthrachnos,
though they were reported to him from
many districts. This fulfills the prophecy
of the State Viticultural Commission, that
the dry atmosphere of California would
afford complete protection against these
formidable troubles so prominent in
Frances. f. Call.

Frank zirkel Quite a Bigamist.

During the holding of the State Fair
Frank Zirkel was arrested in this city and
taken to Woodland TO answer to a charge
of bigamy. The Yolo Nail of yesterday in
referring to Zirker says: "a prominent
citizen of Auburn, Placer county, is IN
Woodland at the present time. He hap
pened to hear of the Zirkel bigamy case
last evening. and told a Nail reporter some
interesting facts concerning the oily scoun-
drel. Iirkel was arrested at Fresno on
June %, 1882, on a charge of blgamy, but
escaped the penalty Of the law, as one
woman swOre she was not married to him
There was no doubt but what she was le-
gally joined to him. but as there was no
proof he could not be held. This was the
way Zirke escaped the law in Woodland,
wife No. ! swearing she was not married to
= the prisoner. The Auburn gentleman
further remarked that Zirkel was a deep
villain and advised the officers to keep an
eye upon him. Our informant does not think
the same women were interested in Zirkel
in 1882 that now jointly claim him, and it
is quite probable that another brace of
females were his prey at Fresno. IF this is
4 lauC ZiI&el is certainly bigamist of the
most pronounced type, and it is a pity that
evidence cannot be found sufficient TO place
him behind prison bars

Henry Smith, a song. ambulance man for
low variety shows, was arrested on COM
plant Of Chief of Police Dillman last night
and charged with battery, in having beaten
his young wife Smith is very averse to
earning living, and had placed his wife
in a house of ill-repute, that he might live
in ease off her earnings. For some reason
he became angry with hiswife and beat her
most severely. Chief Dillman hearing of
the matter, investigated it, and secured
evidence against the prisoner before caus-
ing his arrest. Smith was in active train
ing for a serapping match for Saturday
night, to take place in an uptown melo-
deon. The police officials think they have
evidence enough against Smith to compel
him to postpone his fsticuff to some
future date. Mrs. Smith, good-looking
young woman, about 20 years of age, was
detained as a witness. The case will be
heard in the Police Court to-day They

OUTwITTING THE ALLIGAToRs.-
dogs of San Domingo have discovered a
way of outwitting their adversaries
Whenever a native dog of the island come;
to a stream he stops and banks furiously
for some time, until gradually one by one
the yaccres gather near the bank on which
he stands, poking their vicious jaws out Of
the water as if in expectation of feast
The dog knows by instinct when he ha.
gathered all the yacores in the vicinity in
one spot, and becoming satisfied of this
fact he scampers off at breakneck speed W
or down the stream and swims7 across il
safety. 1t is only the San DOMINICAN dog
however, who possesses this instinct. Al
imported dog would plunge recllessly into
the water and soon become the prey OF the
yaeore.-Ne,g York Nal and Express.

InJuly last W. P. Eldred, George Witten-
brock, Homer Todhunter and George
Eldred hired a team of horses from Walter
Mastin, proprietor of a K-street livery sta
bic, to go on a hunting trip. They agreed
to pay Mr.. Mastin s. 80 per day for the use
of his horses, and give them good care and
treatment. The plaintiff alleges that they
returned according 10 agreement, but failed
10 bring back one Of the horses. The other
one was so badly used up that Mr.. Mastin
was deprived of its services for nearly three
months. The other horse, it is alleged,
died from ill-treatment and lack of care at
the hands of the defendants. Mr.. Mastin
asks that he be awarded 1929 damages. The
case is being heard before Justice of the
Peace Davis. Grove L...Johnson represents
the plaintiff and Judge Holl appears for

THROWN INTo PRIsoN.-The Woodland
Nail of yesterday says: Last night at nine
o'clock and old and highly-respected resi-
dent of Washington, this county, caused the
arrest of another citizen of the same place
on a charge of fraud He did this as a
mere Joke, and did not dream of the predic-
ament he was soon to be placed in himself.
The victim, as soon as he was locked up,
ordered the arrest of the Joker on a charge
of robbery he having taken the sum of 8
from his clothes. The Joker was soon
locked up by the officers, but was immedi-
ately bailed out by John w. Powers, of this
CITY. Much surprise is manifested that the
joking citizen should be arrested on such
charge, and his friends feel his position as
much as himself. Names are suppressed
for the present.
ORGANIZING A MALE CHoRUs.-Last even
ing at the y. NJ. c. A. Hall another meet
ing was held looking to the organization Of
a male chorus. About thirty gentlemen
were in attendance. Professor kinross of
Oakland was present and tested the voices
of the members. 1t was resolved to close
the charter list next Tuesday evening, when
the permanent officers will be elected
Professor Kinross was unanimously elected
director. Messrs. Graham, Auerbach, Car
roll, Men ell and Irwin were appointed a
committee on bylaws. 1t is hoped TO have
at least forty names on the charter list by
Tuesday evening.
AN ELEGANT ESTABLISHMENT Blessing
& Guthrie, proprietors of the Capital Ho-
tel, have just completed the barber shop in
their building, which has been leased to
Frank Fleming. 1t is without doubt one
of the handsomest tonsorial establish
,t,, J.o bac cd
up and furnished regardless of expense.
The bathrooms in the rear portion of this
establishment are models of neatness and
convenience. 1t is located Just one door
west of the hotel Office, on X street.
ANOTHER FRAUD-Wednesday, Flo o.
Holmes, while on mis- way to this city from
the Bay, was joined at Vallejo Junction by
a stranger named Fred. Darling The two
became very intimate by the time they
reached this city, and both went to the
Western Hotel. Mr.. Holmes paid for a
room for both, and Darling returned the
compliment in the morning by skipping
off ." with his friends silver watch and S23
He was captured, however, before he had
time TO leave town.
ARREsrs.-At midnight the following ar
rests had been made by the police: Dan.
Haley, for disturbing the neighborhood
near Twenty-sixth and H streets, by officer
Franks; c. Henrickson got on a mild
drunk and was arrested by officer O'Meara;
Henry Smith, for battery upon his wife,
was arrested by officer Carroll.

SECOND QUARTER.


As this table shows at the time Mr.
King entered on his duties on June LIST
! there were $50 saloons in operation in the
city of Oakland, Of these IS were closed
in the first quarter and Is in the
| second quarter, making total of 76
saloons which have been closed by the
operation of the high license, and leaving
ia saloons now openly conducting bust
ness.
For the two quarters 16G saloon-keepers
in trust; eighty have paid licenses TO the
Marshal, increasing the funds in the city
treasury by $4,000. During the first quar-
ter forty-fve and for the second quarter six
were arrested, making total of fifty-one
arrests for which bonds have been given.
Should the city win the suit, s.. 100 in
funds Will probably would flow into the
city treasury from this source
Should the city win the Paoli test case
the income from the high liquor licenses
would be the sum Of these amounts, as fol-
lows:
Deposited with Moore Il Reed. 900
Pald to City 5000
Probable 500
Total eipts................. 500 200
Under the old license of $25 per quarter
the receipts from licenses of liquor dealers,
on basis of 80 saloons, would be sc, $50
per quarter, or probably between $4,000
and $l1 600 for the time of the present
liquor license ordinance has been in opera
ton, or gain between $4,000 and $40, 900
from high license over low license should
the intent of the advocates of high license
be realized.
